Frank is working hard to reach his goal of retiring and leading a normal life, but when he decides to take a shortcut to reach his goal sooner, he risks losing everything.Not to be confused with the video game series of the same name.

Author Appeal: Michael Mann is a fan of blues music and originally planned to score the whole film with blues but eventually changed his mind. He still in stuck one scene featuring a live blues band, Mighty Joe Young, playing at Frank's bar.

Badass Boast: Leo lets Frank know the score: "I own the paper on your whole fucking life. I'll put your cunt wife on the street to be fucked in the ass by niggers and Puerto Ricans. Your kid's mine because I bought it. You got him on loan. He is leased. You are renting him. I'll whack out your whole family. People'll be eating them in their lunch tomorrow in their Wimpyburgers and not know it. You get paid what I say. You do what I say. I run you. There is no discussion. I want, you work, until you are burned out, you are busted, or you're dead. You get it? You got responsibilities. Tighten up and do it."

Anti-Hero: Frank is an unrepentant thief with a lot of unheroic qualities, but he's the main character and sympathetic in his own way. He's opposed by Leo, a tyrannical mob boss.
